- SS: On the Event Request page,fields regrouped into sections (for better readability). Checkbox added to optionally allow user to enter Non-PASS Paypal Account ID. If user doesn't check this box, defaults to PASS Paypal Account info.
- SS: Changing Country on top of the form will automatically set the default currency for that country. An error will display if the Invoice Option is set to "Paypal" or "Both" if the selected currency is not supported by Paypal. User will have to select a different currency or use "Check" as invoice option to clear the error. For example, India's default currency is India Rupee. So if you select India as country, by default an error will display because the default invoice option is Paypal and Rupee is not a Paypal supported currency.
- SS: The Sponsor Invoice templates are also updated to use selected country's currency sign.
